PO_HEADERS_ALL
PO_HEADERS_ALL contains header information for your purchasing
documents. You need one row for each document you create. There are
six types of documents that use PO_HEADERS_ALL:
• RFQs
• Quotations
• Standard purchase orders
• Planned purchase orders
• Blanket purchase orders
• Contracts
Each row contains buyer information, supplier information, brief notes,
foreign currency information, terms and conditions information, and the
status of the document.
Oracle Purchasing uses this information to record information that is
related to a complete document.
PO_HEADER_ID is the unique system–generated primary key and is
invisible to the user. SEGMENT1 is the system–assigned number you
use to identify the document in forms and reports. Oracle Purchasing
generates SEGMENT1 using the
PO_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER_CONT_ALL table if you choose to let
Oracle Purchasing generate document numbers for you. SEGMENT1 is
not unique for the entire table. Different document types can share the
same numbers. You can uniquely identify a row in PO_HEADERS_ALL
using SEGMENT1 and TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE or using
Oracle Proprietary, Confidential Information––Use Restricted by Contract
